What say ya???

I realize some or many may completely disagree with this but players who retired in the modern era, 1980 on, and was on the regular HOF ballot and after 10 or 15 years did not get in the Hall-of-Fame simply do not belong and should not be considered again. Especially players who did not get enough votes in the regular ballot after one or two years to continue.

I am not saying a player should or should not be in the Hall-of-Fame but Joe Carter was on the ballot one year and received 19 votes, 3.8% and was dropped after one year. Based on that he does not belong. Albert Belle dropped off the ballot after two years. He does not belong and never considered again.

I understand players who played before the Hall-of-Fame began or in an era where voting criteria was different or someone like Piniella who was a better than average player who had a successful managerial career to be reevaluated but players who did not last for one to five years on the regular ballot and retired in the 1990's and 2000's should never be considered again.

I also see considering umpires, executives, etc that had not been voted on before.
